Lane suggested a rough estimate of 80 for the total Job. Terry Hughes, Covington city engineer, put the price at $20 million THE QUESTION of the failure to enforce existing regulations was raised by Commission Chairman David F. Surber, who brought out a 1954 document of the sanitation district and read 15 Items that are prohibited from being In the sewer lines.

Paul Brown, general manager of the Bromley plant, said that it was possible that the the regualtions are being violated daily without enforcement measures being taken. Brown also said that the plant did not have the people nor the equipment to make some of the tests required to determine if the regulations were being violated. He said tests for most of the prohibited matter were not performed ROBERT CAUDLE, a member of the Kentucky Water Pollution Control Commission, representing the public Interest, said It was hoped that the commonwealth could Install electronic water quality monitoring devices In sewer lines within five to 10 years to attempt to identify problems at their sources. The operation of the treatment plant was criticized by C. C.

The three-month-old body conducted the first of six scheduled public earlngs that will lead the commission to a report on the city's environment and to what steps the city commission should take to corect the problems. The majority of the witnesses represented various governmental offices and made several similar observations to the commission: The sewage treatment plant at Bromley, which serves Covington and other large areas of Northern Kentucky, is Inadequate to meet the minimum treatment The combined storm and sanitary sewer lines produce a problem when there Is rainfall, or when the Ohio River is high, in that the heavy load in the pipes forces sewage to bypass the treatment plant and go Into the river untreated.

A lack of manpower, equipment and funds prevents the sanitation district from enforcing regulations that limit what can be piped through the sewer system. WILLIAM LANE, planning engineer for the Northern Kentucky Area Planning Commission, said that the Bromley plant should be replaced with a more efficient treatment facility, which is currently under design. Lane estimated that the plant could be in operation by 1975 or 1976 and would cost $15 million. A third of the expense would be finance through a federal grant, and the remainder would be funded by bonds that would be paid off by sewer service charges. lie said that the cost of 'Like Playing Monopoly' 015,047 bank error favors Denis Brief, It Stills Pays Of A 10-year-old Park Hills, boy was suddenly and briefly wealthy this week because of a bank error.

Nunn declared Thursday he had serious doubts that the legislative reapportionment act would stand up in court.

He said he would allow it to become law without his signature. At a news conference here, Nuhn'also termed the recent special session of the General Assembly as "an expensive exercise In evasiveness." He said he would have liked to have seen the legislature pass a reapportionment bill which would have brought stability to all districts in the state for the next 10 years. While saying he did not see evidence of partisan or factional politics in the bill, Nunn said it was obvious the legislators were motivated more by their own political ambitions than in complying with the legal requirements of reapportionment. The bill was passed last week. Nunn met with an industrial prospect here Thursday and then flew to Athens, for the NCAA basketball game between the University of Kentucky and Western Kentucky University.

He will meet with representatives of the federal Health. Education and Welfare Department Friday and return to Kentucky late Saturday. Friday Movies MADISON THEATER Airport. MARIANNE Five Easy P.eces. VILLAGE CINEMA Cold Turkey (matinee Saturday and Sunday.

Emberton Backed By Senator Cook WASHINGTON (AP) Sen. Mar-low W. Cook (R-Ky.) Thursday endorsed Tom Emberton of Edmonton for the Republican nomination for governor of Kentucky. Emberton is the state's former public service commissioner. "Emberton's character and Integrity coupled with his broad knowledge of both rural and urban problems make him a candidate that will very well be received in all parts of the commonwealth." Cook said in a statement.

Cook said he plans to return to Kentucky as often as Senate business permits to campaign for Emberton. All four agreed that the redisricting was probably the result of "politics." County Clerk Hild-reth Harber became concerned when he learned that his county was in the same district with 52,000 people in Covington. He had believed the link was with rural Kenton County, and he saw no problem with that. "We don't have any crow to pick with those folks (Covington), but we don't have anything in common," Harber said. He conceded that Robertson has no chance of ever electing a native son as a xfate senator, and then related the county and three otherf The resignation of Boone County Dog Warden W.

Poos said he appointed Thomas W. Betting to the non-paid post, to allow probated offenders to have someone to report to.

Poos said that state law requires regular reports to a probation officer If offenders are placed on probation. City council members expressed concern about the city's liability on actions by the probation officer, and asked City Attorney Bruce Henneberg to check legal aspects.
